Share capital reorganisation
Pursuant to the passing of resolution 8 at the AGM, the share capital reorganisation to change the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares will take effect from close of business today. As a result of the share capital reorganisation, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 188,041,599 ordinary shares of 0.01p each ("Ordinary Shares") and in addition 895,424,391 deferred shares of 1p each (with no voting rights) and 18,616,118,301 second deferred shares of 0.01p each (with no voting rights).
The 188,041,599 Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM from 1 February 2017 ("Admission"). The share capital reorganisation will not change the number of ordinary shares currently in issue.
The Company's ISIN (GB00B28YMP66), SEDOL (B28YMP6) and TIDM (INFA) will remain the same and existing share certificates will remain valid and will not be replaced.
In conjunction with the share capital reorganisation and pursuant to the passing of resolution 9, the Company's articles of association have been amended and will shortly be available on the Company's website http://www.infrastrata.co.uk/.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the Company's total issued ordinary share capital will consist of 188,041,599 ordinary shares of 0.01p each, with one voting right each. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury and therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 188,041,599 from Admission. This is the figure that should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Background on InfraStrata plc
InfraStrata is an independent gas storage company focused on the UK and Ireland.
Further information is available on the Company's website www.infrastrata.co.uk.
Background on the Islandmagee Storage Project
The Islandmagee gas storage project company, Islandmagee Storage Limited ("IMSL"), is owned 90% by a wholly owned subsidiary of InfraStrata plc and 10% by a wholly owned subsidiary of Mutual Energy Limited. The project is a proposed salt cavern gas storage facility located on Islandmagee in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Work commenced in 2007 with the acquisition of 3D seismic data to image the Permian salt in the Larne Lough area. During 2012, planning permission was granted for the project and a gas storage licence was issued by the Utility Regulator. In October 2013, the gas storage project was granted a 'Project of Common Interest' ("PCI") status by the European Commission. In 2015 a well was drilled to core the salt and confirm the technical feasibility of the project, supported in part by the Commission. The final stage before a Final Investment Decision will be the Front-End Engineering Design and Commercialisation of the project. To date approximately £11m has been invested in the project.
